Top Insurances in California That Cover Dexcom and FreeStyle Libre

If you’ve recently been prescribed a Dexcom G6, G7, or FreeStyle Libre 2/3 system in California, your first question is probably:
"Will my insurance cover it?"

Good news: many major insurance providers in California do cover Dexcom and Libre CGM systems — but coverage varies depending on the plan, diagnosis, and prior authorization. Let’s break it down.

✅ Common Insurances in California That Cover Dexcom and Libre

Here are some of the top insurers that typically offer coverage for continuous glucose monitors (CGMs):

1. Blue Shield of California

  • Offers coverage for Dexcom and Libre under many PPO and HMO plans

  • Usually requires prior authorization

  • CGMs may be covered under DME (Durable Medical Equipment) or pharmacy benefits

2. Anthem Blue Cross (California)

  • Covers Dexcom and Libre for Type 1 and some Type 2 patients

  • Prior authorization and doctor’s chart notes may be needed

  • Covered via pharmacy benefits in most cases

3. Kaiser Permanente

  • Coverage available, but more restrictive

  • Must be medically necessary and prescribed through a Kaiser endocrinologist

  • Often requires you to pick up from in-network pharmacy or DME supplier

4. Medi-Cal (California Medicaid)

  • Medi-Cal covers Dexcom G6 and Libre systems

  • Libre 2 often requires less documentation than Dexcom

  • May have age-based limits and quantity caps

5. Health Net

  • Offers coverage on certain Silver and Gold marketplace plans

  • Prior auth is almost always required

  • Patients may need to use preferred suppliers

6. UnitedHealthcare California

  • Covers Dexcom and Libre on many employer-based or marketplace plans

  • Often part of pharmacy benefits, which helps with affordability

  • Look for tier info (Tier 2 or 3 drugs may have higher copays)

💬 Still Getting Too Many Sensors?

Even with coverage, many people report getting more Dexcom or Libre sensors than they can use — often due to auto-refill shipments from insurance or suppliers.
